Chapter 74: Strategy

After a moment's hesitation, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Bretan Kingdom... will launch a war against my Gilgidian Kingdom within a year at the earliest. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info" Meng Fan said as he looked at the red-haired man sitting on the chair.

After listening to Meng Fan's words, Landry silently stared at the black-haired man standing in front of him, and Meng Fan tried his best to show his demeanor calmly.

Lewin Nolan, the lord of Ziyang City, stood aside, and Lewin's eyes were also on Meng Fan, the news that Landry Pars, the king of Gilgias, lived in the lord, Meng Fan had already known, but Meng Fan didn't expect that the king would summon him so soon, and Lewin, the lord of Ziyang City, didn't give him any hints.

"Within a year," Landry sat in a chair with his hands folded on his desk, "Claude, I have held a royal meeting in the royal capital Cangyun City, and those army generals and royal ministers have similar opinions as you, and they also think that the Kingdom of Brettan will wage war against the Kingdom of Gilgias in a year or two at the earliest. There was a hint of hatred in Landry's words.

"So..." King Gilgias's gaze focused on Meng Fan's face, "Claude, as the biggest hero in the last war with the Bretan Kingdom, how do you think our Gilgidian Kingdom will deal with the next war that the Bretan Kingdom may launch?" Landry said slowly.

"Your Majesty, as the lord of Blackstone City, the minister is dedicated to the management and construction of the territory, and the minister does not dare to speculate about the war between the two countries. Meng Fan bowed down and replied.

"No, Claude, I think you are more resourceful than the generals in the army, and your clever strategy on the Red Flame Plain proves it, Claude, you can say what is in your heart... I hope you can come up with ideas that are more useful than those royal ministers and generals. Landry had a warm look in his eyes.

Meng Fan turned his head to look at Lewin, the lord of Ziyang City on the side, "Lord Claude, His Majesty has come to discuss with you the strategy against the Bretan Kingdom out of trust in you, Lord Claude should not have any reservations." Levin stroked his short beard and smiled.

He bowed his head and was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty, the minister is here to share his shallow views on this war that may break out between the two countries. Meng Fan said.

"Your Majesty and I are eagerly awaiting this, Lord Claude. Lewin smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Meng Fan to express his countermeasures regarding the next war that was about to break out between the Kingdom of Gilgia and the Kingdom of Bretan.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we in the Kingdom of Gilgias should think about how to deal with the invasion of the Kingdom of Brettan just from the domestic perspective. As soon as Meng Fan opened his mouth, King Landry Pars, who was sitting in the chair, was intrigued.

"Your Majesty, it is an honorable thing to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, but sometimes we don't necessarily have to gain an advantage on the battlefield. Your Majesty, war is nothing but an extension of the political power of a kingdom, and when a king wants to impose his will on another kingdom, war breaks out.

Brunn Sias, the king of Brettan, wants to impose his will on the Kingdom of Gilgias, Brun relies on the army in his hands to realize his ambitions, our Kingdom of Brent will never give in to the Kingdom of Brettan, Brun will send the army into the Kingdom of Bretti, which will inevitably affect the political power of his country, when the Bretan army and the Gilgidian army are at war together, Brun seems to swing the sword in his hand, but his body is exposed. Meng Fan stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Lord Claude, our Gilgidian Kingdom has to parry the sword wielded by Brun Sias, even if this old guy Brun is exposed, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to attack..."

"No, Lord Marquis, we don't need to both respond to and attack the Kingdom of Bretan. Meng Fan shook his head, "The Bretan Kingdom located in the eastern part of the Qinglan Continent is adjacent to five countries, the Fran Kingdom in the northeast, the Xiluo Kingdom in the southeast, the Maude Kingdom in the west, the Armas Kingdom in the southwest, and our Gilgias Kingdom in the northwest...

The Kingdom of Fran and the Kingdom of Helo are both small countries, they are afraid of the military strength of the Bretan Kingdom, and they will not offend this strong neighbor easily, although the Kingdom of Maude is the most powerful country in the Qinglan Continent, but the Maude Kingdom controlled by the Holy See of Light implements the principle of non-aggression peace, and the Maude Kingdom and the Holy See of Light generally do not take the initiative to provoke wars against other countries on the Qinglan Continent.

The Kingdom of Armas located in the southwest of the Kingdom of Bretan is different, the Kingdom of Armas has a wide land, but most of the land in the kingdom is hot and dry, not suitable for farming, the Kingdom of Armas has always had the desire to expand to the east, but due to the entanglement of the old rival Bardan Kingdom in the south, the Kingdom of Armas did not dare to launch a war against the Kingdom of Bretan with great fanfare.

Nine years ago, there was turmoil in the Kingdom of Baldan, the brave and warlike King of Bardan Fredet Vader was usurped by his brother Duke Capeo, after Philip was killed, the newly enthroned King of Bardan Capeo was not keen on war, Capeo focused his main energy on the country, and adopted the same non-aggression guidelines for the surrounding countries as the Kingdom of Maud,

It is precisely because of the great retreat of the Baldan Kingdom that the Kingdom of Armas has not had a conflict with this old enemy in the south for nearly ten years, and the army and material reserves trained by the Kingdom of Armas over the years are enough to support it to launch a large-scale war..."

Meng Fan told the king what he was thinking about, these things were not suddenly thought of by Meng Fan, as early as when he was in Black Rock City, Meng Fan discussed with Tiberius, Mar Sahar and others about the possible outbreak of war between the Kingdom of Gilgias and the Kingdom of Bretan.

After listening to Meng Fan's countermeasures, Landry couldn't help but add a little admiration to the black-haired man in front of him, in the royal capital Cangyun City, those generals and ministers were all discussing how to deal with the possible invasion of the Brettan Kingdom from strengthening the internal defense of the kingdom, but Meng Fan proposed other ways to contain the Bretan Kingdom by creating other troubles around the Brettan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Claude's proposal, if the Bretan Kingdom invades our Gilgidian Kingdom on a large scale, then their kingdom will inevitably have an empty military force, if the Armas Kingdom can use troops against the Brettan Kingdom, at that time, even if the Brettan Kingdom does not withdraw its troops from Gilgias, it will definitely greatly reduce their material supplies and reserve reinforcements..."

"Hmm. Landry pondered for a moment and nodded, "Claude, I will discuss your proposal with the royal ministers and generals, if the Kingdom of Armas can really take advantage of the situation to attack the Kingdom of Bretan when the Kingdom of Brettan invades Gilgias, the old guy of Bren must have a good feeling." Landri Pars of the Kingdom of Gilgias smiled appreciatively at Meng Fan.
